Ongoing Challenges in the Raspberry Pi Graphics Driver Stack

Learn about ongoing development efforts in the Raspberry Pi 4 driver stack through this technical conference talk from XDC 2023. Explore the implementation of OpenGL 3.x support, including hardware limitations and solutions for expanding compatibility. Discover improvements made to CPU job handling in the Vulkan driver, addressing previous challenges with command buffer execution through compute shaders and a new CPU kernel queue. Understand efforts to implement global GPU usage statistics monitoring and cross-platform solutions in DRM. Presented by I. Toral, J.A. Suarez, and M. Canal, this 13-minute presentation provides insights into advancing graphics capabilities on the Raspberry Pi 4 platform.
